 Ingredients
350 g Apples
230 g Valencia Raisins or Muscatels
230 g Sultanas
115 g Pine Kernels
115 g Ground Almonds
115 g Flora
half tsp All Spice
1 orange - rind and juice
1 lemon - rind and juice
230 g Currants
115 g Candied Peel
230 g Soft Brown Sugar
115 g Chopped Figs

Method

Mix and then mince all the ingredients together.

In my mother's recipe book this was originally made with butter which demonstrates how thoughts of vegetarianism has changed over the years since 1930.  I have substituted Flora and it works quite well.  However, a more solid fat substitute would work better.- perhaps Trex or White Flora.

I found this very old hand made recipe book which my mother had put together.  The pages had been duplicated on a Roneo or Gestetner.  The cover had been hand decorated.
